WATER.NATURE.KENYA

by Dr. Fabian Haas

Kenya's landscape ranges from the hot and humid Indian Ocean, to the dry and dusty high lands in the centre, to arid and hot deserts up in the North near Lake Turkana. Only Western Kenya, near Lake Victoria has cool and humid rainforests. Nature, animals and plants, but also humans, need water for survival. But water is scarce in Kenya. And all too often there is not enough for everyone. How nature and people deal with small amounts of water, biologist and photographer Dr. Fabian Haas documents with the help of his camera. His pictures are exhibited at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology at the Deutscher Platz 6 in Leipzig from October 9 to December 31, 2017.
